Sincere condolences to the family. I have such fond memories of Ruby, as we shared attending the same elementary school (Ray’s Elementary/Brookmont Rd.) from 1st grade through 5th grade, then onto the the Pulaski town school system. I remember Ruby as a very strong willed person with a genuine lovely personality and a very beautiful person. We lost contact through all the past years, however she was always in my memory as I reflected on our very early years of life, and will remain so. Precious memories.
